What a ride. Funny, sad, made me roll my eyes, made me nostalgic all at the same time. Three Great Alabama Icons was arresting in a way I haven’t experienced in so long. Will definitely listen again
Not my favorite Dylan but a lot of good stuff! Stand outs are Mr. Tambourine Man,Love Minus Zero, and Baby Blue. Sometimes I tune out in the long songs but who’s to blame me
I struggled paying attention and getting through the longer songs, but it was cool to see rainy day dream away in context. I also liked the atmospheric stuff and feel like it would have been so cool to see live. Excited to listen to more Hendrix
really blown away by this one.
Nostalgic for sure. Clocks was fun
Beautiful. She knows what it feels like to be in love, and to be out of it. What a treat, even though it was long.
I can tell she was giving it her all and I respect her for that but it just didn’t really hit for me
Fun listen but I don’t think I’ll do it again
Didn’t realize how corny The Beach Boys are, but there’s certainly a time and place. I really liked a day in the life of a tree, of course
Great listen for Father’s Day. Excited for more
Not my favorite jazz—kind of busy, better dancing music than easy listening imo
I don't really get the hype
Not my fave, but want to listen to more
Really fucked with this album. Very 2008 and just a generally fun and energizing listen
Excellent listen. Really fun, start to finish. Loved the remixes especially
Amazing listen. Listened the same day I watched Do the Right Thing for the first time during a Bed-Stuy heatwave. Transformative
Really loved this album! Didn’t know the band at all but combines a lot of elements I really dig.
I just don’t like jazz all that much but this was an ok listen
Didn’t like, weird and not for me.
Nothing to write home about but a groovy listen!
Really beautiful album. Soaring vocals and melodies. Pleasure to listen to his interpretations of a lot of these hits, even if they’re not my personal fave versions.
One of my first real listens of funk. I liked it, but still not a huge fan of the long songs. But more tolerable here for sure. “More power to the pussy/more pussy to the people” preach
Really enjoyed this one! Excited for more steely dan
I can see why everyone hated Yoko Ono… although this is ofc in John for having a bad solo career.
Not my favorite disco/funk but a fun listen overall!
I really didn’t like anything about this
I guess I don’t like jazz that much
I love albums like this. Def want to relisten
Nothing to write home about
I had to warm up to this album, the first bit def wasn’t as strong as the second half. Let me just say prince I wasn’t familiar with your game …. Respect
Nothing to blow me away but a fun listen. Not sure if I’ll come back to these a ton but I liked hometown blues
Not my vibe but I’m sure it would be a concert. And too long
Had some stand outs but otherwise pretty easy listening tbh
For a band called joy division they’re not very joyful
A pretty long album and some of the songs weren’t it for me but I liked the artist and want to listen more
Not world changing. Sort of eh but I think my dad had this album.
Fun but not revelatory for me personally
I can tell why ppl love this
Fun and funny but some of the skits were gross. Liked public enemy and Kendrick better but this was also v good
Audio nostalgia. Five star album.
a nice throwback. I can imagine what this would be like listening for the first time
Really fun to listen to the bass lines on this one
I feel like I wouldn’t really call this country and western but it was fun to listen to. Not my fave of all the covers tho
This was a fun listen! Cool to hear take a load off in context
Excited to listen to more of the roots. Liked this one a lot, probs more than Dr Dre
What can I say, this album blew my mind the first time I heard it back in college. I was going through my uncle’s vinyl’s. He passed from AIDS in the early 90’s, several years before I was born. Listening to his music was a way for me to get closer to him.
I have a lot to say about this album—Gimmie Three Steps spoke to me under a queer listening, imaging myself flirting with some guy’s girlfriend. I can see a queer country reworking of that song in modern day and I always love singing along when it comes on.
You can’t bring up Lynyrd Skynyrd and not talk about the Confederate flag and feud with Nike Young. I think the Drive-By Truckers did an excellent job examining this in their album Southern Rock Opera, getting to the root of “the southern thing” and how politicians weaponize racist symbols and policies to divide a region where nearly everyone’s neck is under the same boot. The real southern thing is seeding division among the people and breaking class solidarity so that everyone can be exploited—and I think the finger pointing that comes from northerners is just a hammer in that toolbox.
No offense but who put this on here
Good listening for my acupuncture appt but I think I liked the last album more
Fun but nothing to write home about imo
No skips album. My grandparents saw this on tour, and I have a ticket to the show taped on the album cover of the albums vinyl.
Don’t judge an album by its cover except this one
This walked so the challengers soundtrack could run
I am mot Jesus tho I have the same initials…
Really enjoyed this one and all the diverse instrumental tracks
I prefer it takes a nation of millions, I think, but loved this one as well.
I only really liked one song from this album. This guy just sounds like guyliner embodied. He’s great at what he does but it’s just really not for me
I don’t think he really protected yoko with this work and can see why the world came for her, although I am a yoko ono apologist. Imagine is one of the corniest songs ever but has done a lot of good, I think
Love this album. No notes
This felt like if we didn’t start the fire, schoolhouse rock and public enemy had a baby. I like political hip hop but it was a bit too much for me and not enough musical chops. I would have preferred to read an essay by him. Some did make me giggle but the rhymes weren’t there imo
Really loved so much of this album but it didn’t blow me away the way that mama’s gun did. I think maybe all the hype around it set my expectations really high. I think perhaps the album was too long for me and if it were condensed it would have stuck more. But a lot of really great bangers
Some punk is seriously mediocre
Loved this album. Felt like coming home in a way I totally didn’t expect
Why does this man have to be groaning so much. I kept thinking there was a weirdo next to me on the street as I walked through NYC. Otherwise, I liked it fine.
To me, not as good as good kid maad city but still some really great bangers.
Life’s a bitch and then you die! This one was really fun.
There are three distinct songs on this album and every other one sounds like a remix of the other
Didn’t realize how much Don McLean sounded like John Denver. I really like Vincent, more than I thought I would.
Fave stones I’ve listened to so far! Like a nice tight album, too. Very relistenable
Enjoyed a few of them, excited to listen to more of Fred Neil. Didn't blow my socks off tho. But a good vibe.
I like how pathetic he is
I just don’t really like this guy. Sue me.
No importa si te gusta green day
Not a very memorable listen compared to her other stuff but I liked it
Fun to see the whole album after loving androgynous for a long time. Answering machine does some cool stuff with sound
I don’t like dad rock I guess
Why is this on here? Too Christian rock for me and just overall very mid
Nothing for me to write home about personally but not offensive
Really enjoyed this but too damn long
Fuck all the haters in the reviews. God forbid someone perceive you listening to a young woman sing. This shit was revolutionary at the time, grow the fuck up
I guess I’m too normie, or too sober for this. Liked a few tracks tho but a lot were noise to me
Listened without paying attention, liked the energy. Listened again paying attention and was shocked at how bad it was and was just praying the album would end but it kept going
Perfect album except oh daddy
This album grew on me over time. Clean is one of the best songs ever, sorry
Really fucked w this album
Underwhelmed, sort of like the Springsteen one. Why this one here
Can’t imagine choosing to listen to this
Genuinely difficult and unpleasant listen
I’m sure it changed lives at the time
Sonically interesting and also enjoyable, hard to get the two
Public enemy ran so they could summersault backwards
I do not understand why this is on here. But I like the harmonics
Fine but forgettable, mostly
Sexy and fun. I want a green onion tattoo
Natural evolution of dad rock
Ok unfortunately this was fire. Also unfortunate that he is a nazi. Will I be streaming his music? No but I did like this album
Weird to think they were making this music when I was in diapers
Feels unremarkable but I guess they do have 1,001 albums to fill
Nothing to write home about. Also are they dolls?
Really surprised at how much I liked this one
The crickets is a great band name
Not sure that I was surprised by how much i liked this. Also John Cale feature on Charli xcx wuthering heights soundtrack???
Liked the other band more
I think I liked the other one better?
It’s giving commercial background music
I listened to this so many times to find one song I liked to add to my playlist and it was all just really mid. But I liked the country x Mexican fusion
Liked this until I read the pedophile comments :(
Very very good to work to but her voice bothers me a bit lol
This sounded like I was pressing all the sound effect keys on my keyboard. Why is this on here
better than the last JD album I listened to but I wouldn't listen again on purpose
The slang from back then was wild lol
Love you sweetie just not my fave
Ehhhh don’t make me listen to this
This album is so crazy like what do you mean there’s bootylicious, nasty girl/fancy, and the outro praising god and sisterhood?? Honestly so annoying to listen to
This was really fun actually. I was just thinking “who is electric light orchestra” the other day
Very extremely lovely. The lip smacking sort of got me tho lol
Honestly, I liked this a lot more than I thought, and liked it better on a second listening. All the sampling is sort of weird and annoying to me personally but the downbeat change in organ donor made my jaw drop and immediately start the song over like 4 separate times
Bittersweet symphony is kinda the most annoying song on this album but their vibes were good overall. Moodier than I expexted
I’m sure it’s carthartic to do a screamo song. Considerate of them to limit it to one on the album
I think I’ve grown out of this a lot, there are a few songs that still hit but the songwriting sort of feels like miss rachel (like happy and sad). Pageant material and same trailer different park are way better imo. She also just sings like she’s laying down on a couch but not in a good way, like diva try to put a little more edge in your voice. But this is the supermarket music I like ig
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. Why is this on here.
Not my favorite of his but still a lovely listen would do again
Tbh I loved this. Was thrown off by the name tho
Would have given 4.5 stars. Great. Love a cool crisp 35 min album. Anything longer than 45 starts to lose my attention
Shit like this makes me wish I were an elder millennial
To take a note from the album, you shouldn’t do that. Don’t make me listen to a 2 hour live album under any circumstances. And the songs are way too long and make no sense. The space crap is also just not my thing at all. Would give it a 1.5 if I could. Not totally unlistenable tho so a 2.
I wish I was a pop girlie in hs so that I’d like this more
Thank god this is over. Not totally unlistenable but close. I bet my hs bf would have liked this
Why did they make me listen to this. Stop talking. The songs are too long. No one wants to hear this
Really enjoyed this. This band is so “unique” as my dad would say. Really excited for breakfast in America. Would give 4.5
All the ppl shitting on this, I disagree. It’s fine, nothing crazy or sonically revolutionary but ya know what it’s perfect for? Working on a rainy day. Didn’t call my attention or distract me, nice background music. And sometimes you need background music.
I like albums that tell a story. This one was a little campy at points but I’m excited to listen to more of them. Wish I could give 3.5
Sonically interesting and very fun. 3.5
Wish I liked this more. Liked better than the other album, brutal youth
I guess I hadn’t listened to this all the way through before. Songs were longer than I expected but very good. 4.5
God I love this album. Every song was so familiar except why don’t you write me. Another one I have on vinyl
